Mouse Guard Movie Announced

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the Boom Studio comic Mouse Guard has been optioned for a movie.
Mouse Guard started out as a self published black and white comic, one issue was produced for Motor City Comic Con. The book then was published by (now) Boom imprint Archaia. Mouse Guard 1 can be found for between $8-$20 on eBay for now. Amazon has copies for around $10.
From the Hollywood Reporter:

Matt Reeves and Gary Whitta are teaming up to adapt the Eisner-winning graphic novel series Mouse Guard.
Fox has optioned the best-selling work by David Petersen that will be penned by Whitta, the screenwriter of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Reeves, the director of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Cloverfield, will produce the adaptation via his 6th & Idaho banner, along with Mouse Guard publisher Boom! Studios’ Ross Richie and Stephen Christy. Reeves is not intending to helm the project.
The studio is looking to make a live-action movie utilizing the performance-capture technology pioneered for Fox’s acclaimed Apes franchise as well as technology used by Disney’s live-action animal tale The Jungle Book to bring the Mouse Guard world to vivid life.
Created, written and illustrated by Petersen, Mouse Guard tells of anthropomorphic mice set in medieval times, focusing on a brotherhood of mice that is sworn to protect the common folk. Or rodent, as it were.

    1. Depends.. some like errors, some don’t. I think most will be going for #1 issues… another one to keep a look out for is the FCBD books they always put out, we could see a rise in value with those as well.

      1. I was going to ask about the fcbd hardcovers. They’re the only ones I have 🙂

  2. I am so stocked on this book.All of them.Been on this one from the jump.There is some room to get in on this but not much stock to go around.Very small print runs,odd size books.The 2nd print of #1 Belly of the Beast is actually the smallest print run.If looking at a first print keep in mind the white cover, and be wary when there is no picture of the back cover.All reprints are clearly marked on the back covers at the UPC. Purchasing a first print on Amazon will be a crap shoot at best.The best speculation advice I have learned is to speculate the heaviest on books that you like.

    1. I read the first three mini series and liked it. I just hated the format of the book. Might be time to go down and hit the comic cave and list them.

      1. Does the comic cave have a red telephone in it? If it did, that would just be effing awesome! 🙂

        1. No. It’s actually beige. But it is the old corded on the wall type. I will send you a picture of it.
